Why

I saw you downtown

Through the glow in my taillights

You were stopped behind me

Your car had caught my eye

I'm glad this light's slow

It gave me a chance to catch my breath

Right before I drive away to forget

Why do I give a damn after everything went south?

Why do I write songs? Why can't my heart shut its mouth?

Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?

Why can't I fall out of love with you?

And I've tried pretty

I tried outgoing and fun

And I've tried intelligent

Trust me, I tried dumb

I tried wealthy

I've been looked at as a way out

I've tried everything I know to try out

And why do I give a damn after everything went south?

Why do I write songs? Why can't my heart shut its mouth?

Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?

Why can't I fall out of love with you?

Why do I give a damn after everything went south?

Why do I write songs? Why can't my heart shut its damn mouth?

Can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?

Why can't I fall out of love with you?

Why can't I fall out of love?
